Turnstile, Spiritbox, Foals, Calvin Harris, Little Simz, Tame Impala or Linkin Park make the new Forza something closer to a festival than a video game.
For years, Forza Horizon understood something that many video games still don’t understand:
👉 driving is also listening to music.
And now Playground Games has just taken that idea to the extreme.
Because Forza Horizon 6 ‘s soundtrack doesn’t sound like it was made to accompany racing.
It seems designed to dominate Spotify.
With more stations, more genres and more songs than ever before, Forza Horizon 6 has just become one of the most unexpected music releases of the year.
And honestly…
there are moments where it seems more like a Primavera Sound on wheels than a video game.
🎧 The most ambitious soundtrack of the entire saga.
Playground Games confirmed that Forza Horizon 6 will have:
- 9 radio stations
- hundreds of songs
- the largest selection of music ever included in a Forza
And it is not only the quantity that is important.
It is the approach.
👉 each station seems designed as its own cultural identity.
🔥 Horizon XS is Turnstile, Spiritbox and absolute chaos.
The most beastly transmitter in the game is called Horizon XS.
And it’s probably one of the best rock/metal playlists a video game has ever had.
Includes names such as:
- Turnstile – SOLE
- Spiritbox – Keep Sweet
- Biffy Clyro – Friendshipping
- Linkin Park – Up From The Bottom
- BABYMETAL – White Flame
And yes:
👉 driving at 300 km/h listening to Turnstile is probably exactly the experience Xbox wanted to create.
🌌 The indie surprise with Foals, Beach House and Sub Pop.
But the really unexpected is in Sub Pop Radio.
Because here the game becomes much more culturally interesting.
The station mixes:
- Foals
- Beach House
- The Shins
- Band of Horses
- Nation of Language
And it turns certain night runs into something almost emotional.
There are moments where Forza Horizon 6 looks more like a giant indie music video than a car game.
And honestly…
that is exactly what makes this saga special.

🖤 The detail that turns the soundtrack into something brilliant.
The important thing is not only the musical selection.
It’s how it’s built.
Each station represents a different community:
- metalcore
- synthwave
- indie
- hip hop
- electronics
- ambient
- J-pop
That makes the player not only choose music.
👉 choose identity.
And very few video games understand that so well.

Build a cultural experience around music.
And that explains why Forza Horizon still feels so much more alive than other driving games.
🎯 The recommendation of LoffMusic
A lot of people will discover artists thanks to this game.

And honestly…
few video games understand so well what the internet must sound like right now.
